About this experience
Very close to Santiago we find amazing nature parks in the Andes Mountains filled with fresh air. The hike is short and flexible to meet one's level of fitness or expectations!
Inside the park, follow our guide on a relaxing hike that lasts up to three hours. Wander into meadows strewn with wild herbs, and inhale the fresh, calming scents of eucalyptus and cypress trees. Admire the breathtaking vistas, which change along the way.
This area is home to more than 500 species of plant and animal life. Look for the grey fox or Darwin’s leaf-eared mouse. Overhead, you might spot eagles or the mighty Chilean condor with a 10-foot (3-m) wingspan.
After the hike, enjoy a delightful picnic lunch, which includes freshly made local bread, seasonal fruit, cheeses & ham and more. We relax, reflecting on the day together. We share what we have enjoyed about our interaction with nature, between us and the beautiful environment.
